Jubilee USA Network, an alliance of 75 human rights, environmental, labor, faith, and community groups, works for the definitive cancellation of crusing debts to fight poverty and injustice in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Jubilee internships are for qualified individuals with an expressed interest in working on debt cancellation and other issues of global economic justice. The Jubilee internships provide an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to gain experience in a dynamic nonprofit.To find out more about the different internship areas, click here.

Jubilee USA internships are unpaid but we do have a modest monthly travel stipend. Arrangements can also be made to enable the intern to receive academic credit for the experience.

QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants should have strong written and verbal skills, attention to detail, a passion for working on global justice issues and have a strong knowledge of issues of debt and foreign economic policy. Knowledge of computer programs such as Excel and Word and familiarity with online communication is desired. Ability to work as part of a team is necessary. Interns must be able to work 40 hours a week. We are flexible but interns who can work as close to full time as possible will be given higher priority.
